A little joking headcanon for Dune that I have is that, in addition to the immense wisdom and knowledge of history that comes with the ability to see the memories of all his ancestors as the Kwisatz Haderach, Paul also sometimes uses it to enjoy long-forgotten pop culture.

Like, there will just be bits where he just stares out into space for long periods of time, an odd smile on his face. The Fremen will say that Muad’dib walks the path of the Mahdi, his mind everywhere while his body stays still. The Bene Gesserit and Tleilaxu will get nervous, wondering if Paul is unearthing their conspiracy and preparing their metaphorical (and quite literal) grave years in advance.

But in actuality, Paul is watching the Simpsons.

I must not cringe. Cringe is the mind-killer. Cringe is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my cringe. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. When the cringe has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

But I really do dislike how much veganism-the-ideology has taken over the discussion on climate change and how to fix our foodways, for reasons that include but are certainly not limited to:

people who believe that farming animals is innately bad and unethical attributing climate change to "animal agriculture" when most of the negative impacts come from beef specifically, which makes the problem seem MUCH less solvable than it actually is.

animal rights activists and organizations have been given a seat at the table discussing how to solve climate change and biodiversity loss, when they include people that believe things like "zoos are inherently bad" "domestication is equivalent to slavery" "it's never necessary to cull overpopulated species" and "hunting is always bad"

The way we grow plant crops is SO fucked as well—nitrogen fertilizer causes so much pollution, use of pesticides and herbicides is probably the main cause of the decline of insects, we are losing topsoil way way too fast— but we have people naively proclaiming that switching to "plant based diets" is the answer

the way "veganism as Solver Of Human Problems" puts the focus and responsibility entirely on individual choice instead of changing the way food systems work. I'm sorry but people cannot personal-choice their way out of a system that is fucked by design and that they need in order to not starve

the stereotyping of farmers as evil and sadistic people who love to watch animals suffer for a profit. Who benefits

rejecting outright the idea that farming or hunting animals could ever be sustainable or acceptable on any scale when indigenous people worldwide have done it for millennia, animals have been domesticated for 12,000+ years, and not everyone can even survive on a strictly plant based diet

anti-indigenous racism

anti-indigenous racism

entangling so much energy and effort to removing all nuance and advocating a personal lifestyle change that is not possible to accomplish and/or sustain long term for most people instead of literally anything specific and effective

I love that there's like an organized fleet of synchronized pumpking-bearing bats for them to ride.
